A heavy, block-like sans with simple, geometric construction and strongly filled counters. Strokes are mostly straight-sided with rounded joins and broad curves in letters like C, G, O, and S, giving a sturdy, contemporary skeleton. A consistent distressed texture is cut into the black shapes, producing irregular flecks and scuffs that read like worn ink or a rubbed stamp. Terminals are generally blunt and squared, and spacing appears fairly tight, creating dense, high-impact word shapes in the sample text.
Best suited to display settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, bold headlines, labels, and packaging. It can also work for logo wordmarks and apparel graphics where a stamped or worn print effect is desired, especially in short text and large sizes.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with a worn-in, printed-by-hand attitude. The distressed surface adds a raw, DIY energy that suggests posters, packaging, or merchandise rather than polished corporate communication.
The design appears intended to combine a straightforward, geometric sans framework with a built-in distressed finish, delivering instant grit and texture without additional effects. It prioritizes impact and a tactile, printed look over neutral readability in long passages.
The distressing is integrated into each glyph rather than applied as a uniform overlay, so it maintains a consistent “weathered” character across sizes. The texture can reduce clarity at small sizes, but it reinforces authenticity and tactility at display scales.
